When I found this coin I was kinda stumped on it too and what a great debate here on finding the solution. I did read that when a mint employee goes to a specific area of a coin to sand or repair the die with grit tools that it could leave scratch mark incisions in the die.The motions are usually back and forth. That matches that area of the hair. This could be a mint employee induced. (maybe)

If it's copper plated zinc, then what you are seeing could be artifacts of the plating bath. Plating lines are often seen in parallel.
